Stop the Fussin and Fightin

As I read Kelly Dwyer's emphasis on moving beyond the recent NBA brawl, it is a sentiment that will hopefully spread throughout the sports world. The NBA is exciting right now, particularly with some surprises like the Jazz and Lakers (for some, except us Lakeshow fans), some nice winning streaks by the Mavs and Suns, and a very interesting move as the Answer goes mile-high.
Personally, I have always loved watching AI play because of the gritty and aggressive nature of his play. He's tenacious offensively and defensively and is hands down one of the most electric and exciting players in the NBA. It is natural for his critics to point to all the shots he jacks up, but his supporting casts have been suspect for the most part. AI has averaged 6.1 assists over the course of his career, so he must be dishing the rock out at least a little.
Granted, AI is eternally criticized for the famous "practice" press conference (and his attitude toward practice in general), which could definitely be an issue with toughminded George Karl. However, Karl could also have gotten Iverson at a good time, especially now that AI will surely want to make a point with strong play (but when did he not play hard? Never, probably not even in little league).
In addition to motivation from the trade itself, Iverson is coming to a talented team in the Nuggets, who are already a playoff team. The Nuggets could use some of Iverson's toughness as well since they are not very feared by the rest of the Western Conference.
Although Melo will be gone for the next month or so with his suspension, the Nuggets also picked up AI at a good time because of the various suspensions. It will give AI a chance to establish himself before Melo et al. come back. AI will definitely do well in a fast-paced offense, which should provide enough baskets to spread the love between Melo, AI, and the rest of the team. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how things shape out.
